At the much-anticipated Sensors Converge 2025 event, STMicroelectronics and Klika Tech have officially unveiled their joint smart-city sensor platform, built to scale, adapt, and streamline urban development through intelligent edge solutions. This announcement highlights a major shift in how cities can apply data-driven technology for better urban management, sustainability, and security.
The launch marks a new milestone in IoT (Internet of Things) innovation and comes amid growing global interest in smart infrastructure, connected communities, and real-time urban data analysis.
The STMicro-Klika partnership brings together STMicroelectronics’ proven sensor hardware capabilities with Klika Tech’s cloud-native AI/ML and system integration expertise, offering smart-city developers a ready-to-deploy, modular, and scalable platform that supports real-time data collection and actionable insights.
The new smart-city sensor solution features a flexible hardware-software ecosystem, combining STMicro’s ultra-low-power MEMS sensors, connectivity modules, and secure microcontrollers with Klika Tech’s cloud-first architecture and AI-driven insights.
This platform supports multiple urban functions such as:
The system is built on STMicro’s sensor-rich STM32 platform and can be integrated with leading cloud services like AWS IoT Core, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, giving municipal and private sector partners the flexibility to tailor solutions to their specific needs.

At the Sensors Converge 2025 expo in San Jose, STMicro and Klika Tech demonstrated a fully functional smart-pole prototype, integrated with edge-to-cloud sensors collecting live environmental and utility data.
The prototype displayed how smart sensors can identify peak traffic hours, detect temperature and humidity changes, alert city managers of waste bin status, and monitor streetlight energy usage — all from a single connected device.
Their booth attracted strong attention from city planners, OEMs, and IoT developers who praised the solution’s modular design and plug-and-play architecture.
“The scalable nature of this solution allows any city—big or small—to deploy smart-city infrastructure at their own pace,” said Sergey Koptelov, CTO of Klika Tech. “From monitoring pollution to saving electricity, our collaboration empowers municipalities to make smarter decisions based on live data.”
Both companies emphasized that the solution is built with sustainability and cost-effectiveness in mind. STMicroelectronics’ low-power sensors help cut energy usage, while Klika Tech’s AI algorithms analyze data in real time, helping city administrators respond instantly to changes in their environment.
The design also incorporates OTA (over-the-air) firmware updates, remote management tools, and edge AI processing, minimizing the need for manual intervention.
Municipalities can expect:
With increasing urbanization, such solutions are vital for smart growth and climate-resilient development.
STMicroelectronics is known globally for its innovations in semiconductors and embedded systems, while Klika Tech is a recognized leader in cloud integration, AI, and IoT product development.
Their collaboration represents a convergence of hardware and software excellence, enabling:
This launch also aligns with the broader industry shift toward open, modular, and interoperable systems in urban technology deployments.
“We are proud to help cities around the world get smarter, cleaner, and more connected,” said Loris Valenti, Product Marketing Manager at STMicro. “With our advanced sensor suite and Klika Tech’s software brilliance, the future of cities is here.”
Tech analysts and IoT professionals at the event hailed the announcement as a game-changer for urban transformation.
According to Market & Markets, the smart city market is projected to grow to over $1.2 trillion by 2030, driven by infrastructure upgrades, 5G connectivity, and rising urban challenges.
Early interest from European and Asian city administrations was reported during the event, with several pilot project inquiries underway.
Both companies revealed that more smart-city demos and pilot collaborations are planned in the second half of 2025. They also hinted at future expansions of the solution to include:
Their joint vision is to create a living platform — one that evolves with a city’s needs and rapidly changing urban dynamics.
